SENATOR sHERMAN's STATE.

It will be remembered that Senator
Sherman was greatly disappointed in the
action of an Ohio convention held the past
week His friends now declare that he
must have an unequivOcal endorsement as
Ohio's Republican choice or otherwise he
will not be candidate. In an interview
with a staff correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Gazette the senator was very pointed
in his expressions. He virtually said, that if
the Ohio Republicans want me to stand as
a candidate for the presidency from this
state, let them say 50, and | will do all l
can to help us to victory in the state this
fall and in the nation next year. If the re-
publicans of the state do not indorse his
candidacy for the presidency with Sub
stantial unsnimity," he will refuse to al
low his name TO be used in connection with
the presidency
The Commercial Gazett, editorially com
ments on this statement Of Senator Sher-
man in the following language: John
Sherman is 20 rag baby to be kicking
about by aspiring politicians. He is the
formost republican not only in Ohio, but
in the nation, and he cannot be remanded
to back a set by anybody, young or old,
inside or outside the state. The state
convention to assemble at Toledo
must either iudorse him for the presidency
or refuse 10 do so. This issue has been
forced upon the party by a faction, and the
time has come to settle it. Neither Sher-
man nor his friends have forced it. The
professed friends of Blaine are, in opposing
the Endorsement of Sherman, doing what
Blaine would not advise and what he can
not afford Let it be understood, therefore,
that this opposition to John Sherman In
Ohio is not in favor of Blaine 1t is some
thing more and something outside of that,
and it has deeper and more far reaching
meaning. The Republicans can not afford
to ignore Sherman at Toledo. They must
either indorse him or refuse to do so, and
take the consequences. The friends of
Sherman are ready TO meet the issue, and if
we are not misinformed the real friends of
Blaine ana the true friends of the Republi-
can party sre entirely agreed with the
friends of Sherman.
The state convention which is to be held
at Toledo must therefore ssuarely indorse
Mr.. Sherman's candidacy for the presi
dency or he will refuse to go before the
national Repu5 lican convention.

CHAPTER OF FIRES.
A Million-Dollar Burning in New
York,

New YORK, July 16-Fire was dis
covered about o'clock this morning in the
five story brick building of the Metropoh
tan storage warehouse on 3Sth street be-
tween Broadway and Sixth avenue. In a
few moments flames mounted up through
the structure finding food in the light stuff
stored there and before the fremen arrived
the whole place was a raging furnace.
Three alarms were soon sent out and
special companies were summoned from
neighboring districts. Hotel Normandie is
quite near and soon sparks descending on
this building set it on fire and the
guests were hurriedly summoned to leave
Porters rushed through the halls and
knocked at every door. Guests were told
that there was no immediate danger. They
asked if they would have time to pack their
valuabes; being answered in the affirma-
tive they packed their trunks and soon
carried them down stairs. The fire on the
roof of the hotel Normandie was soon eX
tinguished however, and guests being re
assured went back to their rooms. Soon
after the firemen had got to work at the
storage warehouse building a terrific eX
plosion occurred and seven firemen who
were at work on the first floor were blown
through windows to the street. All of
them were very badly burned about the
hands and face and an ambulance
call was Immediately sent out. When
ambulance arrived most of the injured FIRE
men were unconscious and by that time five
of them had been conveyed to the hospital
They were Captain Vilter. of engine No.
26, and four OF his men. The other two
were John Conroy and John Douglass, of
engine company No. /.
The business was conducted by Solan
Edabacke and the building and land are
the property of the Goalet estate. Damage
as far as could be estimated was half mil
lion, although it may be more. The ware
house was used by New Workers who are
out of town, and contained furniture,
paintings and valuable bric-abrac of all
kinds

BERLIN. July 16-The tension of feeling
toward France has relaxed since the French
fete day has passed without the occurrence
of any anti-Gierman demonstration. Ac-
counts in the German papers of the Incl
dents in Paris on Thursday represent that the
repression of a popular outburst was solely
accomplished by the presence of such mass
es of troops all along the route Travelled by
President Grevy and his ministers on their
way to the review at Long Champs as had
never been seen in Paris before or since
the days of the empire.
The papers seek TO prove that the p0pu-
lace were in reality unable to make demon
stration and that the extraordinary precau-
tons taken by government although sue
cessful in paraly King the Chauvinists, had
given a fictitious aspect to the calnlness
which characterized the day The German
embassy in Paris was especially guarded.
there was no appearance of troops in front
of the building. but a body of cavalry was
kept on the alert and moving in the vicin-
ity from early morn till midnight.
The return to the German people Of a
calmer mood toward France can be as
sured, however, only by the cessation of
the systematic persecution OF German resi-
dents in French towns; yet the tendency
seems all the other way. The Chauvinist
press continue to publish the names and
addresses of Germans who have places of
business in France, and warn members of
the Patriotic League not to have any deal
ings with them.
The Deuschenlz contends that minor
German employees are being hunted out of
their places at the rate of hundreds weekly,
and il is estimated that the Germans hold
ing situations in France, who last year
numbered Sc, 600, have been decreased one
half within the past six months.
Counl Won Murister, German ambassador
at Paris, is having 4 constant stream of ap-
peals for help against the outrages which
are being perpetrated on Germans The
sufferers are 10 the main skilled workmen
who fiud employment in the manufactur-
ing centers of France. These appeals were

zens of Germany who are not in public life,
but residing privately in France, and
against whom both are melted to make at

A physician calls our attention to the
special Importance at this time of year
of observing hygienic and sanitary pre-
cautions. Whenever case of diphtherla
or other contagious disease occurs, the pa
tient should be isolated in room in the
upper part of the house or at the end of a
hall and the utmost care used to keep
the coptagion from being spread by CON
tact with the clothing and OBJECTIONS of
the patient or through contaminated at
mosphere. Chloride of lime and other
disinfectants should be used in all such
cases Contagion j. often carried from
family to family by the child.en passing
to and fro between the houses, by kissing,
and bv careless ways of disposng OF the
excretions of the sick Great care should
be taken to keep c liars and closets clean
and well ventilated. No case of sore
throat should be neglected and the doc
tor should be called in, If any doubt eX-
lists as to the character Of the attack. The
importance of cleanliness, ventilation
and pure air and water, cannot be 100
much insisted on, and IN all these mat
tiers an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure,
